THE GRAND STAND HOWLED. But the Outburst Was Due to Any- thing But Joy. ‘fiADDV CLARKE WENT TO PIECES. What at First Looked Like a Oertain Victory 1s Tarned Into a Dis- gusting Defeat In the Eighth Inning. Denver 7, Omaha 6. ‘Well, were you there yesterday ! . _Not Well, then, you were spared much humiliation and a good deal of pain. What looked like a dead certain victory was turned, in the twinkling of an eye, into n most disgusting defeat. And, oh, dear me, what & sore crowd that was that filea sadly and demurely from the park about hait-past 5. Just think of thirty-five hundred sore peo- le in a pile! The spectacle was agonizing. The day was a lovely one for ball playing, with sombre clouds hiding the biue empy- yean, and shutting off the sultry rays of the sun and rendering everything just right for 8 brilliant struggie. And it was a grand struggle, fairly reful- gent with wondrous featurcs, up to the eightn inning, when the tide of woo began to swell, and before it could be checked had not only engulfed the whole* Omaha team, but the great throng of spoctators besides. But it is a disagreeable task on hand, and Jet’s hurry and get rid of it. essitt opened up with an out to McQuaid, and Cleveland was thrown out by Klusman ut first. Tho same gentleman followed up this nice play by a bad fumble, which gave Btrauss his l’:’ue Crooks struck out, how- @3er, and he was left, R: Mountaineers went out in succession. n everybody settled himself for & close and interosting game. In the second, Cooney sent a long high fiy %o old Dal, the hero of many a gory conflict in the years gone by, and joined his com- rades on the bench. ‘Walsh bad his “good eye” with him and took a bag on four wides by Mr, Kirby, only to be doubled up, though, with Nagle, who hita curve to McQuaid, who also threw ‘Walsh out at second. ‘Messitt's maff let McQuaid reach first in Denver's half. A moment subsequent Dad ade s wild pitch and he made second. cVey then retired on a acorchhl§ grounder to Scrappy Jack, and Mac dared not leave second. Klusman hit a vicious oneto Walsh, swho scooped it in clean, and to the wild de- lghz of everybody, threw McQuaid out at the plate. It was a nice play and was greeted by a roar of applause, lan struck out. It looked excccd(n%y like a score for Omaha m the third, but alas! she goteth it moteth. . Canavan began with a single and stole sec- ond. Jaddy Clarke also corked out one. Then, after the ball had been returned, Dolan threw down to second and caught Canavan off his base, and with the assist- ance of McVey, he was run down. Messitt struck out, but Grover followed with a hit and Clarke gained third, Jukey Btrauss flew out to_big Dave Rowe, and our ‘hances all went glimmering. The grand stand sighed, and you ought to ear o grand stand sigh. ' It sounds some- hing like the wail of a lost soul. It was one, two, three for Denver, 8o again everything was all O. K. The next was a triumphant inning for Omaha. And how the bappy people did make the Sabbath air quaver with their glad shouts. Captain Crooks incited the peans of victory by a rattling drive to right for two cusbions. A passed ball allowed him to reach third. Cooney was presented with a base by the er- ratjec Mr. Kirby, and on McQuaid’s muft of ‘Walsh's bit Crooks ran home and so did Cooney, too. Nagle laced out a single and Walsh scored. Canavan then struck out and Clarke foi Nagle at secoud. But we made three runs, ana Omaha stock westup at & jump. The Denvers inyested another dollar and drew another blank, For Omaba the fifth begun by the ex-pres- _4dent . reaphing first on' four bad g&um Strauss made a beautiful bunt and both men ‘were safe. Everybody smelt some more runs, but ‘that's all, they smelt them, because Crooks, Cooney and Waelsn were ignominiously squelched. - ‘The Mountaineers held another losing ticket. In the sixth Nagle took first + on balls, only to be forced at second by Can- avan. The latter stole second, but got no further, Clarke »n.: Messitt being put out. The Denvers aid not fare even this well— they never saw first. The next inning was auother triumph for the locals. Cleveland started the music with a terrific drive for three bases. A passed ball hit him Beross the plate. Strauss went to first on s, stolo second and thira cleverly. Crooks ‘went out from short to first and Cooney ona fly to Dalrymple. McQuaid then made an- other muff of Walsh's hit,and Strauss scored, and Walsh reacned third. He came home a moment later on Nagle's hit, and then Nagle ‘was mnut out stealing second, and the score stood: Omaha 6, Denver 0. For the Mountaineers, both McClelland aod Rowe reached their base on errors by Walsh, but McClelland was caught off his base by a foxy threw by Messitt to Walsh, and retired. The next two men went out and still the score remained the same, 1t was one, two, three for the first time for Ommaha in tho eighth. But not so with Rowe's brawuy myrmi- came in, and with a suddenness-ness- 088 that ail but paralyzed the whole city, they it‘onto Mr. Clarke und hit him 1o the neck, between the eyes, on the nose, up and down is ribs, and across the back, never stopping until no less than five of the blue jerseyed friends had crossed the rubber. Just stop and think of it & moment, and you may possibly roalize how all this 'slug- ging acted upon the sensitive nerves of the spectators. Up to this juncture not a hit had boen made Pft Clarke, and then, in a single inniug, they #woop down on him for no less than & half dozen, clean, thorouglly laundried hits, and came within a single run of tying the game. It was just simply horrifying. htl:renod Daddy by However, it might never ‘:l'.sry bum muff of a hit by the second “man hado't Joe Strauss sort o rats he bat, A deep hush fell over the crowd us the as came in for their last whack. But it did them no good. All the ambi- gion had been wcontinently knocked out of ghom, although the ever hard-working Crooks did linc out a two-sacker, ouly to be pxtinguished trying to make third on it. There is no use dwelling on the legend fougor. ‘Denver came right in like a yearling at a gounty fair, and without_oven as much as ing “How do you do, Mr. Clarke,” the, jopped right upon his back again, and witl four straight safe smashes, sent in the tyin, snd the w{nnluk rans, g bl Wasn't that rottent The ecore: .

She set her own pace throughout the whole six days, was never approached or pushed in any way, acd won by thirty-two miles.

Mention was already once made in dispatohes to Tus Bee of the complaints that came from Tama county of the condition of the Towa river, in which fish were dying by the cart load. The secretary of the board of health has been to Marshall- town and made a personal and oarefal in- spection of the situation. . It was thought at first that the refuse of the glucose factory was responsiblo for the pollution, but that hardly seems to be the trouble since in other places tho same refuse is turned into streams without damage or cause for complaint. But it was learned by the hoalth oMcer thht in 1887 the creek, on whioh the factories were located, was vory low, 80 low in fact that the bed of the stream was filled with refuse matter, und there was not water enough to carry it awdy. It has lain there fermenting and decaying over since, and is mow a living mass of corruption, con- sequently it pollutes the creek and the river into which the creek emptios. A sample of the water was brought back. It is black as night, and has an odor that nearly knocks a man down at ten paces. It is to be analyzed, and meantimo the health officers will try to determine some way of abating the nuisance. —_— Wasn't Worth the Candle.

Dxe Moixts, In., May 26.—[Special to Tz Bae.]—During the session of tho last gen- eral assembly, & committeo appointed by a convention of the blind people of the state, appeared before it. They asked for an ap- propriation and the necessary legislation to provide for the establishment somewhere in the stato of an industrial home for the adult blind. Their request was backed by peti- tions from many of the blind people of the stato, as well as from others. The logislature passed an act creating a commission for this purpose, and last March Governor Larrabee appointed as the commission, Hon. L. A. Riley, of Louisa county, Colonel . M. Fox, of Des Moines, and Miss Lorana Mattice, o Benton county. The commissioners were to investigate and prepare a report to be laid before the next general assembly, with such recommendations as should scom best. In pursuance of their instructions, they visited a nuimber of the leading schoots and working homes for the blind in the cust, and they have roached a conclusion that the statc shonld establish an industrial home for the adult blind of Iowa. Thero aro between 1,500 and 3,000 blind people In this state, 80 per cent of whom are adults. Itis intended that this industrial home wiil afford constant employment to such as desire 1t, and thus enable them to be self-supporting. _They find it hard word under present conditions to compote with those who can sce and thus earn a living. It is suggested that they could work at broom-making, mattress-mak- ing, carpet weaviug, cane seating of chairs, and-upholstering. The commission is still engaged in gathering information on the subjoct, and will embody the resuits of their investigation in & report which will be laid ‘before the next general assembly, An Interesting Decision, Des Moines, la, May 206.——[Special to Tre Bee.]—The supreme court has decided a rather novel but interesting case affecting the right to bridge navigable waters. The county authorities of Dickinson county had authorized the building of a bridge over the small arm of West Okoboji lake, which con- neets it with Eust Okoboji. The bridge was 0 be & draw, but suit was brought to enjoin them from paying for the bridge, on the ground that 1t would be obstruction to navi- gation, and that the county had no control over the bottom of'the lake, The supreme court sustains the injupction and says thau the state owns the bottom of the lukes and that no county has a right to lay out a high- over thew, and then order a bridge to be built in order 5 utilize this highway. The arm of the I question is only a fow rods wide, but tho'cdurt holds that the state has never relinquished its right to the land at the bottom of the water, and therefore no county can bridge it.

B. F. Wright, ‘“‘the father of the prohibition amend- ment.” says o Des Moines special to the 8t. Louis Republic. Mr. Wright recently wrote Collector Webster, stating his beliefl that the collector was in eonnivance with the violators of the prohibitory law., At least, he said, the majority of the licenses to retail liauor dealors issued Py the collector boré mythical names lustead of the real applicants, the pur- pose being to evade that provision of the lowa law which' mukes the posses- slon by thoe defendant of a govornmont licenso bearing his name prima facie evidence of his guilt, Mr. Wright de- manded that the collector bofore issuing tho license correspond with a banker or some other reputable man in the town in which it is proposed to do business and inguirve whether tho name sought to be placed on the license is the real one of the applicant and to refuse a li- cense in all cases where the contrary ap- pears, and also keep his books open, so that any one applying at the collector’s office may examine the record and as- certain who has been licensed to sell lignor. Collector Webster, in his reply says: “Of the 1,500 licenses issued from this office but 60 bear mythical names. It is not within the power of the collector to withhold a license from any one who meets the requirements of the law, and the applicant ‘s entitled to whatever name he wishes placed on the licenso, provided his runl name is stated in the application. It is not compulsory on the part of the collector to oxpose his ist ot wpblications, HOK dges the good of the service dictate that heshall. The violation of the state law is not his con- cern, for it is not an offense against the laws he is sworn to enforce. On the other hand, the ex- posure of the list would injure the ser- vice by subjecting those whose names appear on it_to prosecution under the state law, and by thus inducing them in the future to add violation of the fed- eral law requiring that they procure licenses to sin against the state law. The effect would be to diminish the re- ceipts of the revenue department from licenses and to increase the expense for the detection and prosecution of crime. * “The Iowa prohibitory law,” con- tinues the collector, has already had this effect. The sixty licenses bearing mythical names were issued to dealers in the counties of this district, in which the most vigorons efforts have been made to enforce the prohibitory law. These efforts have been costly, not to the people of the state aloue, but have resulted in great expense to this de- partment by requiring us to detect and punish persons unlawfully engaged in the liquor business therein. From your county (Mr. Wright’s) we have taken into court nine boot-leggers and con- victed them of violation of law by carrying on the liquor business without having government license. From Governor’s Larrabee’s county (Fayette) wo have convicted forty-nine. His county has cost us more for criminal prosecution than any other in the state. On the other- hand, Dubuque county, which yielded us more revenue than any other, has cost us little. We have had but three criminal cases from Du- buque county, and none were for boot- logging. “From these facts,”” continues Mr. Webster, “it may be inferred that Governor Larrabce made a mistake when he stated to a Nebraska audience that prohibition wasinforced in eighty- five of the ninety-nine counties of Iowa. On the contrary there is nota county in this districy, nor a town of 300 inhab- tants ov over, for which retail liquor dealers’ licenses have not been issued, when taken together with the number of bootleggers convicted, indicates an increase in the number of dealers as compared with the number in existence before the prohibitory law took effect. —— MOTHERS AS CHAPERONES. Not 80 Watchful as They Should be in Giddy Paris. At home‘we hear agood deal about the Pilgrim Fathers, but you just ought to come to Paris to learn all about the Pilgrim Mothers, says a correspondent of the St. Louis Républfc. Wherever ou are, in a hotel, a pension or in the ouse of one of the numerous American residents on the Champs Elysee, you are confronted with the mother who has one or two daughters over here to finish their education, while the father —an unknown quantity—remains in America to earn the wherewithal to render such a visit possible. The daughters are here to learn the lan- guages and music and the mother sits about like an ogre to see that vhey do net learn any less inteilectual arts. These girls are prey for men wherever they are discovered. I know of one salon where at least ten girls can be found each night with no protector be- yond the ample mamma who sits to one side with the hostess while the girls go dancin% about with a young clerk of the foreign legations or [ieutenant of the army, or perhaps, a real live minister of one of the powers. 1 stumbled on a scene last night at an American lady’s house which was es- peciaily instractive. I had wandered out to the conservatory, atthe rear of the house, to smoke a cigarette. The violins were playing a_sweet waltz in the drawing-room, and, as I crossed a sort of courtyard leading to the con- servatory, a couple danced by me, leay- ing behind them the sound of happy laughter and the fragrance of violets. I went on my way, and sat down on & wicker chalr beneath an azalea bush. From the other side of the bush I heard voices. At first I could not understand what was being saiq, so I feltentitled to linger. But soon the man’s voice be- came more distinct, and I assure' you that the speech of Claude Mel- notte, word for word—that one in which the picture of the palace on the Lake of Como is drawn, with the alabaster lamps, and the sweet songs of birds forever syllabling her name—was uttered in wellow accents. The speaker was an Italian, expressing himself in English., After he had finished, I heard a girl’s voice say: 'Oh, Count, it sounds just like a play. That is a beautiful speech.” *Your eyes,” was tho reply, “would inspire poetry in oven a duller man than L.” And then I heard a kiss, and then a deep sigh. I moved away. Five minutes later u well-known Italian .count, & roue and gambler of the hardest description, came out of the conservatory into the ball-room, with a young New York girl, the daughter of one of the Pil- rim ‘Mothers, leaning on his arm. Her cheeks were flushed, and the count lookedstriumphant. Two centuries ago I would have been bound to make a quarrel with the Italian, and kill nim or myself be killed. But this is centennial year, and these Pilgrim Mothers pretend to know much more than I do. - A Revolutionary Wreck, In excavating to deepen a creek which is to be used as a timber basin for H. P.

The end of the keelson can be seen im- bedded in the mud at one point, and about thirty feet from it a well-pre- served live-oak vib, with a part of the lanking attached, was taken out, The und in this vicinity wus reclaimed from the river, and there is a tradition that it was ut or near thig point that the British, during the siege of Savannah in 1779 by the armies under Geneeal D'Estaing and Lincoln, sunk vessels across the viver to prevent the French ana American war vessels, which had passed around the western end of Hutchinson’s island, from énfilading the defenses of the town, It is not im- probable that the old wreck which is pow brought to light, if not one of those sunk at that time, has not been afloat , during this century. MINING AT COLORADO SPRINGS Reduoing the Produotion of Metals to a Science. WORKING INTO THE MILLIONS, Silver in the Lead, and Gold a Good Sccond--How the Mines Are Developed — Relios of Former Dayn. The Great Output of Ores. IpAuO SrriNas, Colo., May 22.— [Special to Tire Brg,]—Thoro is more interost taken in scientific mining among these mountaing than at any previous date. And those who are operating mines state that mining more than ever has been reducod to a system® 80 accurate that, as a business, it is no more uncertain in its results than any other pursuit understandingly followed. The output of ores is greater than ever bofore, and the results more satisfa tory, owing as well to the improve- ments in mining machinery, and the orection of necossary mills and other works, as to the acquired skill in find- ing and handling ores. In support of the above assertions, some facts and figures at hand shall be used o substantiate them. From 1865 to 1869 the total products of the mines of Clear: Creek county amounted to $182,823. In 1874, the mining excite- me nt having been intensified, the out- put aggregated 82,203,947, and the number en gaged exceeded that of any former yoars. 1In 1880 the products summed up $2,904,728. ‘I'he population had increased to abo ut 7,000, and the number of miners to 2,550, the largest number ever engaged up to that time, and more than have been any year since. After that date, and till 1885, thore was a shrinkage in the value of the output. In the last-named year the mines of the county (and I speak of this county only), yielded about $3,000,000, though there were not as many miners cn'\['nloycd as in 1880. he mining industry is better organ- ized and has more confidence in the cer- tainty of a steady business than at any period sinco the discovery of gold at Pike's Pealk; and, though carried on noarly without excitement, is acquiring a deserved place among the industries of the states - In the earlier years of the mining operations the implements were rude and inexpensive. There were no ma- chines for hoisting ore from perpen- dicular shafts, and when prospectors found signs or indications thought to be good, horizontal turinels were cut into the sides of the mountain so as that they might trundle their findings in a whee barrow to the mouth of the opening. Afterwards, small cars propelled on a tramway superceded the one-wheeled barrow. Improvements and inventions have gone on apace, till steam power and approved implements have para- lyzed Jm old methods. The time was when the ore and the rocks in which it was found went to market together, making transporta- tion so costly that many a good mine was vieated because it would not pay. Stamp mills, custom and sampling works as well as reduction and concen- trating mills in the mining region are now preparing theores for shipmout so as that the minimum cost of transporta~ tion is reached. Eaoh mine is recognized by its name, and dealers in ores are as familiar with both name and location as an_Omahan is with the stations on the Union Pa- cific railway. A heavy traflicis carried on in the precious metals. Buyers are here in quest of it just as cattle and hog dealers frequent South Omaha. Silver predominates in quantity and value in most of the mines. Gold is next in value, and both are usually, if not always found in the same rocks. There is & great dissimilavity in the ap- earance in the rocks, however, taken rom mines not very remote from each other, owing to the presence of iron, or copper, or lead. There is a mine just ahove Graymont very rich in lead—said to be 60 per centum of that composition. The company working it pays 50 per cent royalty to the owners and make money out of the transaction. Ores are found in the mountains only in fissure veins. There are no carbon- ate deposits at Leadville. The fissures are simply seams of variable widths be- tween the walls of rock, many of which extend to a great depth. In one mine near here—the Champion—situated on the tip top of Bellevue ountain, the vein has been penetrated to the depth of 800 feet, and the ore is borne in huckets one mile and aquarter to the mill at the base of the mountain. The transporta- is effected by means of a seven-eighth inch steel cable above ground, sup- ported on tressels. Some of the veins are nearly perpendicular; others dip at different angles, all the way from eight to twenty degrees, and can be traced east or west, frequently, several hun- dred feet. In aride from Idaho Springsto the western termigus of tho Colorado Cen- tral vailway, twenty-one miles, not a few of abandoned mining works may be seen. Relics of pioneer miners are in sight, such as log-cabin shanties, oid fence posts still standing, and tunnels from which ore had once been taken, The traveler can discern very many laces where prospectors have lately een at work puncturing the sides of the mountains for the purpose of de- termining whether the ore is rich enough to reward the miner for his labor. Specimens are taken to the as- sayer, who, after putting it in his cruei- ble, settles the question. * There is no dispute about these moun- tains being fulk of metaliurgic sub- SCRIBE.
